May 2020!

This handyman can fix anything. I had bought a keyless entry garage door opener to replace our other one. The other one still worked, it was just trashed. Well, the new one wasn't compatible with our garage door. So Adam took the board out of the old one and put it in the new one...good as new!!
Calli walked in from the gym and headed straight for the pantry, backpack and all! Haha!
Look who we finally got to meet...
Rowan Blu Peterson. He is such a doll!
Amazing Sky on my way to work one morning. 
Adam and I took a much needed break from work one Friday and grabbed some lunch. Most of the  restaurants dining room's are still closed, so we grabbed Fire House subs and drove to the temple to see the progress and just to sit, eat and chat. It's so weird and a bit sad to see it like this right now during the renovation, but it will be worth it. 
Love seeing this man when he can finally find a minute to sit and relax. He sure loves his hammock!
On Memorial Day, all the girls had plans or work during the day so that night we had outdoor pizzas and played games. 


We've been playing so many games lately that we dug deeper in our game closet to find ones we haven't played in a while...found this gem from when the girls were little.
Plus, three extra dogs in the box that Gentry said she remembers putting in the box. The middle one was from Polly Pockets...talk about nostalgic. Haha!


I'm pretty convinced that we have the most amazing skies here in the desert than anywhere else. 
America makes history. This was so cool!. On May, 30th SpaceX an outside company not associated with NASA teamed up with them to send the first aircraft built by anyone other than NASA into space. This was also the first time an aircraft has been sent into space from American soil in over a decade. 
It was pretty nerve racking but so awesome watching the live coverage leading to lift off. They had interviews with other astronauts, tons of info and history about the launch and Kelly Clarkson sang the National Anthem from inside her home. It was kinda emotional watching the two astronauts (Doug and Bob) saying goodbye to their families and climbing aboard the rocket and then counting down and watching it blast into space seamlessly. Made me proud to be an American. 
19 hours later they docked with the space station where they will live for 3 months....pretty amazing!
On the exact same day, that America went from a super high, it fell to it's lowest of lows.  A few days before a black man was killed by a white cop in Minneapolis. He was later arrested and charged with the murder but protesters took over the nation. There were protests in most cities across America. Most of those were peaceful including one here in St. George but for most other major city across the nation, riots and violence broke out. It was so scary to watch as stores were looted, cars were tipped over and building were burned. It was like watching the news about a different country...certainly, not America.  

Especially watching it unfold in Salt Lake City. Seeing police cars turned on their sides and people laying on the ground as police started making arrests. It was insane and so crazy. It doesn't make sense to me to protest hate with hate and what's the point in looting businesses and burning your city. So sad!! Praying we find peace in our divide soon.
